The council held an executive session this
afternoon, at which the appointment of P.
F. Mcclure to be commissioner of immigra-
ton was confirmed, but the appointments
for railroad commissioners were not 1t is
said the Republicans took the ground that If
the governor wants to give the Republicans
a place on the board they (the Republican
councilmen) want something to say about
who it shall be. The point is also made that
it cannot be fairly claimed that any one of
the three appointed was named from Gen.
trail Dakota. The Republicans seem deter
mined not to accept the. two ffshs represen-
tation on the board offered by Gov. Church,
but will make a fight for more. It is claimed
that if the governors appointments are re-
jected the trustees now in office will hold
over.
Not in session.
